So I am trying to sort out how to get my OBD II Cable into the cab from the engine compartment... Got that done thanks to Brady!

However during my exploration in the van I found this...

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


It is a propane line that runs from the main tank. It does not have a separate shut off valve and of course is located under the driver seat with the aux battery connections.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I love these "what is it " questions Very Happy My guess is the feed to a propane fired seat heater.

it went to the hot water on demand tap that sits up in place of the ashtray on select model vans.


Laughing

but a propane powered seat heater is likely a closer guess..
it was probably hooked to an Olympian catalytic heater at one time.
